can't tftp password changer to pix 501

I bought 2 pix 501s and don't have the passwords for them. So, I am
following the instructions which require tftping the password changer.

I am using the same pc as the tftp server and to console into the pix. I go
into monitor mode and setup interface 0 (default and outside) to 192.168.1.1

Next I setup server to 192.168.1.99. I have tried 2 tftp servers (am using
solarwinds tftp server 6) and have placed the files there (np63.bin). The
pix is running Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.1(3)

I am using a small hub that has my pc (tftp server) connected and the
outside port of the pix also connected (by utp patch cords). I can ping the
tftp server but when I do the tftp command it looks like it will work but I
get a bad magic error.

Perhaps when you ftp'd the np63.bin file onto your PC, you did so
in DOS mode instead of binary mode? np63.bin should be 92160 bytes
not 93340 bytes.

I just re-downloaded the files. I started in the browser but used windows xp
pro iexplorer. This time the file was 90kb instead of the 93kb...very
interesting as I didn't do anything different. it's late over here and i
figured i would just retry the download.

so, the tftp worked perfect. Now I have to figure out how to reset the
configuration back to factory default.

Do you recommend using an ftp program instead of iexplorer? I use it with my
website...I suppose I should know better...

I printed out the configuration manual from Cisco...it seems well written.

Hey Walter I just noticed that you are from the University of Manitoba?
